Re: notation on rental check
The landlord should not be altering checks in any way which have submitted by the tenant for the payment of rent. If such alteration has been deliberately done and has resulted in the tenant being charged twice for the same month, this could be a material violation of the lease, which if not timely corrected by the landlord, might be a basis for finding the landlord in
a breach of the lease materially sufficient to warrant declaring the lease null and void.
